1. What is a hanging beam?
Answer:A hanging beam is a beam supported by tension members (cables/rods) from above instead of resting on supports below.
2. How is a hanging beam different from a simply supported beam?
Answer: Hanging beam: supported from top (tension) Simply supported beam: supported from bottom (compression reaction)
3. What type of forces act in the supporting members?
Answer:Only tensile forces act in the cables or rods.
4. What is the equilibrium condition of a hanging beam under UDL?
Answer:Total upward tension = total downward loPic
5. What are the support reactions for a uniformly distributed load (UDL)?
Answer:For symmetric loading:
6. What is the shape of the shear force diagram (SFD)?
Answer:It is a straight line (linear variation) from positive to negative.
7. What is the shape of the bending moment diagram (BMD)?
Answer: It is a parabolic curve with maximum at midspan.
8. Where does maximum bending moment occur?
Answer: At the mid-span of the beam.
